Young Person's PhotoCard

If you’re 11 or over (until your 16th birthday) you need a Young Person’s PhotoCard to be eligible for half-fare travel on virtually all buses in West Yorkshire.  It also provides proof of age and entitlement for train travel, and to claim a half-price rail season ticket.

You also need a Young Person's PhotoCard when buying or using a School Plus MetroCard.

There is a £2 administration fee when you purchase your Young Person's PhotoCard.

Where to get a Young Person's PhotoCard:-

Metro Travel Centres, Metro Bus Stations or any Post Office in West Yorkshire. 

First time applicants must apply in person at an issuing office.  Take with you:-

• The completed application form.
• A recent full-faced passport size colour photograph.
• Proof of identity and age - a birth certificate, passport etc.
• £2 administration fee.

Don’t Forget! 
Without your Young Person's PhotoCard you will be asked to pay full adult fare.

Then become a Metro Mover
Anyone who has a Young Persons PhotoCard, Scholar's PhotoCard or School Plus MetroCard can take advantage of the Metro Movers Club.  The Metro Movers Club offers great deals and discounts at venues across West Yorkshire.  To become a Metro Mover, register your details via the internet at MetroMessenger and choose Metro Movers for free email offers.

Guidelines for Stress-Free Travel

To make your bus and train journey as enjoyable as possible, when you buy your PhotoCard we ask that you adhere to the Code of Coduct by:-

Waiting for the bus

• Queue sensibly away from the road.
• Get on the bus calmly without pushing.

On the bus

• Remember your PhotoCard and have the correct fare.
• Find a seat and stay seated for the journey.  If there are no seats, hold onto a rail.
• Do not distract the driver unless in an emergency.
• Do not damage the bus.

Getting off the bus

• When your stop is next, ring the bell once.  If it has already been rung, you do not need to ring it again.
• If you have to cross the road after you get off the bus, wait until the bus has moved off and you can see the road clearly in both directions, or go to the nearest available crossing.
